After surviving the deadly Anama Trials and bonding with her raven spirit, Sorrena Faelan is finally strong enough to claim what’s hers. But victory comes with a price. To secure her future and unify the fractured realm of Thornwythe, she must travel to Druimfar—a ruthless land of iron, wolves, and unbending tradition—and enter an arranged marriage with the enigmatic wolf prince, Drayce Valtair.

Sorrena intends to rule, not bow. She’s counting on her fragile connection to Drayce to help her seize not only Druimfar’s throne, but Thornwythe’s as well.

But Druimfar bows to no woman.

From the moment she enters the gates of Ironcrest, enemies circle. The realm teeters on the edge of war. The king slips further into madness. And Sorrena guards a secret powerful enough to shatter the Eternal Chain and plunge all of Orenda into ruin.

Her only ally may be the stoic, ice-cold prince she was never meant to want—but whose presence she finds increasingly impossible to ignore. And every night, Sorrena is haunted by visions of her fated mate, Rhydian; a man destined to love her… and destroy her.

Caught between forbidden magic, unraveling conspiracies, and two men tied to her fate, Sorrena must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice to save her queendom.

Because power is never free. And love may cost her everything.
